Nascido na cidade rural de Oshkosh, Nebraska, Rouse é conhecido por sua quente e íntima voz e sua sutil abordagem às embarcações musicais. Se mudou para várias cidades durante sua infância devido à seu pai que era militar, incluindo Utah, California, Wyoming e Georgia. Depois de sua passagem pela Austin Peay State University, decidiu fixar-se em Nashville, Tennessee, onde conheceu músicos locais e começou a gravar.

[B] Farewell. Bye bye. The sorry look in your eye, It doesn't [E] mean a thing. So [B] long, we shared beds now it comes to an end With such a [E]saddened eye. {On the B to E progression, the bass goes to C#}
Chorus: [F#]I've heard stories, [E]ugly stories which [F#]no one can deny [E] They were [B]true. They were true
[B]While I was away, you were working every day or so it [E]seemed. Phone [B]calls, regrets, everyone placed bets on odds I [E]wouldn't see.
